NBC Sports Live Extra Offers Exclusive NASCAR Coverage

STAMFORD, CONN. - NBC Sports is putting the pedal to the metal as it prepares to launch its coverage of NASCAR Sprint Cup races. As part of its coverage, NBC Sports’ live streaming product, NBC Sports Live Extra, will offers fans exclusive camera angles, custom driver information, and insider track information during all races.

NBC Sports Live Extra multi-view options combine the NBC’s race simulcast with alternative camera angles, including in-car views, full-view on-board alternate cameras, and various locations on the track.
